The Atlanta Hawks were looked at as one of the most interesting teams when entering this offseason and they have lived up to that. Atlanta shocked the world by
winning the NBA Draft Lottery in May then they selected French forwardwith the No. 1 pick. The Hawks made the inevitable move of trading Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans for Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance, E.J. Liddell, Cody Zeller, and two first-round picks. Atlanta restructured their roster aroundand will hope that it can get them back into the playoff hunt. The Hawks might not be done this offseason either, as they still have roster decisions to make.
Maybe No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher will exceed expectations, but hopes aren't super high for him becoming a cornerstone talent. B/R's draft expert Jonathan Wasserman, for instance, comped Risacher to Harrison Barnes, a solid player but nowhere near a star. The Hawks might be willing to make more significant subtractions if the San Antonio Spurs didn't control their next three first-round picks. That has the Hawks stuck on the loading screen. They look decent, which is about the last thing teams want to be in a league where the biggest rewards go to those on the extreme edges of the competitiveness scale."and the roster around Young makes a lot more sense than the previous two seasons.
It is not just Johnson though. While Risacher is not as hyped as other No. 1 picks in the past, he has the ability to help the Hawks sooner rather than later. Coming into the draft, he was lauded for his shooting ability, his size, and his defense. Risacher has struggled to shoot the ball so far in Summer League, but the other parts of his game have been as advertised.
